Smiley Face by Sharon Morgan

Hi guys I've been AWOL for a while now..... I'm in charge of the Fathers Day stall for my kids school. Luckily for me I have a couple of wonderful helpers in Michelle and Nicole with Karen and Chrissie and Sylvanna to back us up! But I have 880 students to make gifts for....... So as you can imagine I'm a bit hectic.. LOL and alot of other things have had to slide... my blog for one... Hopefully though when it's all over I should have some fabulous Off the Page ideas for you all..... And you know they're cheap to make!

So I thought I should take a moment to show you another layout from Retreat... but not one of mine. Here's a layout which was done by my new scrapbuddy at the Retreat I went on. Sharon has a Cricket. She used the cricket to cut her title from patterned paper.

I love the economy of this layout. Cutting the title from patterned paper and the stars and then doodling and stamping on the page. The costs for this layout were the background paper and the offcuts of patterned paper. So a very cheap layout! And the design is a simple one but very effective.

Cardstock only Layouts

After looking at the cost of a layout I'm going to challenge myself to do some cardstock only layouts (not for my wedding though). Do you think you could manage it? Well I'm not sure but I'm gonna give it a go. But it does get a little ridiculous the costs, con't you think? So I'm going to challenge myself to do a layout using cardstock and patterned paper only! Of course not having a cricuit or sizzix or anything this will mean hand cutting my title....... painstaking... BUT I think it'll be a challenge artistically too. These layouts were done by Deb of Toowoomba and you can see how she's used her paper and cardstock to acentuate her photo's theme.... I especially love the dolphin! When I went to a scrapbook evening recently one of the ladies did a fabulous layout using paper piecing. She made Dora the Explorer layous and her 'dora' was fantastic. I don't think I have that much patience but punching and tearing are right up my alley. Bu

Coffee Mugs are Finished

Here are the digi scrapped coffee mugs I told you about a few posts back. They're back from the "printer". These were really easy to do. I first created my document that I was digi scrapping and I made the size of the document 4" x 6'" (a standard photo). I then decorated that page using my digital scrapbooking papers and embellishments and finally added the photos. I then went to my local photo lab and uploaded these images to their software and chose to have them printed on mugs. (I chose the stretch option which stretches the image around the mug. So then I had to resize the image to get all my decorations on the mug). And here they are! It only took them a week to print them! So if you're thinking of doing this for a christmas present I think you may just get it back in time...... but check with your photo lab to make sure they could get it back to you before Christmas. I'm happy with the result..... hope the recipients will be too?
